Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing inulotriose and/or inulotetrose by using an exo-type hydrolase capable of hydrolyzing a fructan only every 3 or 4 sugar units from a terminal fructose thereof, so as to produce inulotriose and/or inulotetrose, and of recovering the inulotriose and/or inulotetrose. The enzyme is produced by Streptomyces sp. MCI 2423 (FERM BP-2678) and Aureobacterium sp. MCI 2494 (FERM BP-2679).
Claims6
A method of manufacturing inulotriose and/or inulotetrose, comprising the steps of:
- reacting a fructan with an exo-type hydrolase capable of hydrolyzing a fructan only every 3 or 4 sugar units from a terminal fructose thereof, so as to produce inulotriose and/or inulotetrose;
- and
- recovering said inulotriose and/or inulotetrose.
